TORNADO - Conclusion
             
               Tornado is a giant storm that looks like a funnel that destroys small/big areas depending on how big is the storm is. Tornadoes are getting worse because they’re killing hundreds of people and animals each year, destroying the lands, buildings and breaking down the trees. As awful as 2011 was, many Americans died in tornadoes, last year appears to have been unusual and not part of a trend. Tornadoes and tornado damage can change wildly from year to year: 2012 is the quietest year on record for tornadoes in the USA, according to data from the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. If this pattern continues for the next 100 years, according to the datas, we can expect a lot more and strong tornadoes and new technologies from scientists; Good computer software to detect tornadoes with enough radar sensors, make more VORTEX2 - a lot of it is getting information about tornadoes from the field, if tornado happens in your area, hide in the basement don’t run with a car, stay away from windows.

CRYSTALS AND MINERALS

Crystal Lab



In September we did crystal lab. In that lab we grew crystals using epsomite and sugar. We used water some scientific cups and minerals. We put tiny minerals in the cup and mixed it with water. We did this until it stopped dissolving. Then we attached paper clip to the pencil using rope.After that we waited until it grew crystals on it. Some grew faster and some took slower process. 

















Metallic Luster: It looks like a metal 


















Non Metallic Luster: It's a mineral that doesn't look like mineral. 
























Streak: Color that left from the rock after scratching.















Cleavage: Rock that is broken evenly 
















Fracture: Rock that is broken unevenly 
















Composition: Chemical that made mineral















Color: Appearance of a rock 
















Hardness: If the rock is soft or hard, we know it by scratching it on glass.
